19-year-old girl from Slovenia named Marina leads an unusual page on Instagram. She makes original jewelry using things found on the beach near her house.
One of the most valuable finds of the craftswoman is the 200-year-old intact bottle of Maraschino from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The girl took the find to the Kosmachendi Palace, where the creator of this bottle once lived, and today the Museum of the Ancient Glass is located there.
“I started making jewelry after the death of my grandmother, but at first it was just a hobby. I started with decorating small baskets for small things, but later decided to switch to jewelry. I use in my work Mediterranean shells, sea glass, ceramics, corals, moss, pearls and sea stars. I also often use items found on the beach with their own history. It makes them more unique,” says the girl.
